"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Why are things this inane?

I. don't. know.

Do you want to see a really cool Tony Jaa fight scene though?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not right now. Right now I have to go through my work emails and see why everyone thinks I'm working this weekend. Hopefully I can get that out of the way before family shows up.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

It'd be teaching a) 4 preps and b) advanced classes in AutoCAD and the like.

Wow. FOUR preps? That's a lot. As for the AutoCAD classes, I'd be totally stumped, but I'm not a mathy person.

Okay - I'll hold off on the link for the sweet capoeira bout.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I dressed in the rest of the clothes Kat brought (I'm pretty sure I'm wearing a camo turtle right now, but it's hard to tell from up here)

It is a camo turtle. I let Noah decide.

I screwed up the exterminator. My land lord tells me that they expected me to be here to let him between 9-12 and that the extermination company may have a fee to pay for the missed appt. Bitch, the email said, "They'll be there betwee 9-12" with nothing explicit about us waiting except you did mention the baby had to be out of the house.

GR. ARGH.

I'm having a very tear filled, hulk smash day. But little boy asleep right now is not one of the reasons why.

Huh. Might have just had an earthquake...

Yikes, AutoCAD is not something to be tacked lightly. If that's not software you already have a firm grasp on it's tough to learn. I know plenty of designers that took multiple semesters of college level courses in AutoCAD before they felt they had a good grasp on it.

I use AutoCAD all the time, and I don't know how.

Which is meant to underscore the complication--I just use it to read. Using it to create is far enough beyond me that I haven't even explored it.

4.5 on the Richter scale.

That was a pretty fun earthquake to be awake for. It swayed here for a bit.

ita, you can fill out the "Did you feel it?" questionnaire: [link] I did!

I use Vectorworks for my CAD work. To me it's much more intuitive than AutoCAD and it still has a bitch of a learning curve. I'm also only using the 2D aspects of these packages. I don't even want to think about the 3D stuff. I mean, I'd love to know them all better, but I haven't had the time to invest in learning the software.
